CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2014/083874, filed on Aug. 7, 2014, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310345355.X, filed on Aug. 9, 2013, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The embodiments of the present disclosure relates to the field of computer system design, and in particular, to a memory access method, device, and system.

BACKGROUND

As a storage capacity size of a computer system increases gradually, improvement of memory reliability is essential for running stability of the computer system. Currently, error-tolerant code is generally used in the industry to check data of memory, so as to improve memory reliability. Common error-tolerant coding methods include a single error correction-double error detection (SEC-DED) method, a Chipkill (a new memory protection technology developed by the IBM Corporation) method, a Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem (BCH) error-tolerant coding method, a dual-mode mirror error-tolerant coding (MIRROR) method, and the like. When a specific running object (for example, an application program, a thread, a process, or a code segment) accesses memory under a condition, the memory can support, only if a suitable error-tolerant coding method is selected, correct access performed by the specific running object to corresponding data, that is, meet a memory reliability requirement of the specific running object. For memory in the prior art, a single error-tolerant coding method is generally used; correspondingly, when the memory is accessed, the single error-tolerant coding method of the memory is also used to check data. For example, in the prior art, an error-tolerant coding method used by memory is a SEC-DED method, where in a process of performing read access to data of an application program, first, error-tolerant code is used to perform error detection on read data, and error-correction code is used to perform error correction only after an error is detected.

The prior art has the following disadvantages: a single error-tolerant coding method is used, which cannot meet a reliability requirement for memory when different running objects access the memory under different conditions.

In this way, a hierarchical and flexible method for setting a memory reliability level is provided to implement a memory access mechanism for different running object types and different reliability levels.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a memory access method. Referring to FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

Step S201: A processor sets a reliability level of a running object of the processor, where the reliability level of the running object represents a degree of a memory reliability requirement imposed by the running object.

Step S202: The processor queries a preset correspondence table between the reliability level of the running object and an error-tolerant coding method to obtain an error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the reliability level of the running object, and sends reliability level information of the running object of the processor to a memory device.

According to the memory access method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a memory device establishes a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship according to reliability level information of a running object sent by a processor, and separately accesses data and error-tolerant code of the running object according to the first mapping relationship, the second mapping relationship, and an access request that is sent by the processor. In this way, a hierarchical and flexible method for setting a memory reliability level is provided to implement a memory access mechanism for different running object types and different reliability levels.

FIG. 3 is a detailed embodiment of a memory access method. It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a principle is described using a process as a running object of a processor. However, this does not indicate that this embodiment of the present disclosure is only applicable to a case in which a process is used as a running object of a processor. Because processes have different memory reliability requirements, different processes may have different reliability levels, and may also correspond to different error-tolerant coding methods. It may be understood that this embodiment of the present disclosure may also be applied to a running object of another granularity size, for example, a thread or a code segment, and running objects of different granularity sizes may also correspond to different reliability levels. Specific implementation steps of this embodiment include the following steps:

Step 301: A processor sets a reliability level of a running object of the processor.

Exemplarily, the reliability level of the running object represents a degree of a memory reliability requirement imposed by the running object.

Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the processor may set a reliability level of a process App j when initially scheduling and starting to run the process App j. Furthermore, a basis for setting the reliability level may include one or more of user definition, operating system setting, memory chip fault information, current operating mode, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

For convenience of description, different reliability levels may correspond to different error-tolerant coding methods. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, there are four different reliability levels, which correspond to different error-tolerant coding methods in a one-to-one manner according to a preset correspondence between a reliability level and an error-tolerant coding method, as shown in Table 1.

The processor may set the reliability level of the process App j to Level 3, and an error-tolerant coding method corresponding to Level 3 is BCH coding.

TABLE 1 Reliability level Error-tolerant coding method Level 1 SEC-DED Level 2 Chipkill Level 3 BCH Level 4 MIRROR

Exemplarily, the processor may further store the reliability level of the process App j after setting the reliability level of the App j. For example, the processor may write the error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the reliability level of App j into a reliability-level register (RLR), where one process corresponds to one RLR. It should be noted that in this embodiment an RLR is a register that corresponds to a process and is used to store and read an error-tolerant coding method corresponding to a reliability level of the process; and the RLR may be disposed inside the processor, or may be connected to the processor using an address bus. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose any limitation to a specific implementation form of the RLR.

Step 302: The processor queries a preset correspondence between the reliability level of the running object and an error-tolerant coding method to obtain an error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the reliability level of the running object.

Exemplarily, reliability level information includes identification information of the running object and the error-tolerant coding method that corresponds to the reliability level of the running object.

The processor may obtain, by querying Table 1, the error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the reliability level of App j, and store the error-tolerant coding method in an RLR corresponding to App j. For example, the reliability level of App j is Level 3, which corresponds to BCH coding.

Then, the processor sends to a memory device, the error-tolerant coding method that corresponds to App j and is read from the RLR corresponding to App j. Furthermore, the processor may obtain reliability level information of App j using identification information of App j and the error-tolerant coding method that corresponds to the reliability level of App j.

Step 303: The processor sends reliability level information of the running object of the processor to a memory device.

Step 304: The memory device receives the reliability level information of the running object of the processor sent by the processor, and establishes a first mapping relationship and a second mapping relationship according to the reliability level information of the running object.

Exemplarily, the memory device establishes the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship according to the reliability level information of the running object may include the memory device queries a preset correspondence table, as shown in Table 1, between the reliability level of the running object and the error-tolerant coding method according to the error-tolerant coding method in the reliability level information, so as to acquire the reliability level of the running object, the memory device queries a preset correspondence table between the reliability level and a data region according to the reliability level of the running object to acquire the data region corresponding to the reliability level of the running object, and generates the first mapping relationship, and the memory device queries a preset correspondence table between the reliability level and a CECR according to the reliability level of the running object to acquire the CECR corresponding to the reliability level of the running object, and generates the second mapping relationship.

The first mapping relationship includes the identification information of the running object, the reliability level of the running object, and a data region in which data of the running object is stored, where the identification information, the reliability level, and the data region are in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second mapping relationship includes the identification information of the running object, the reliability level of the running object, and a CECR in which error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of the running object is stored, where the identification information, the reliability level, and the CECR are in a one-to-one correspondence.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship may represent, in a form of a query table, identification information of the process, a reliability level, a data region in which data of the process is stored, and a CECR in which error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of the process is stored, where the identification information, the reliability level, the data region, and the CECR are in a one-to-one correspondence; however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. With reference to a schematic diagram of memory regions shown in FIG. 4, for a data region 3 in which data of App j is stored and a CECR 3 in which the error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of the process is stored, a form of a query table may be an address mapping table (AMT). Referring to Table 2, Table 2 is an AMT in this embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes a process number, a reliability level of a process, a data region in which data of the process is stored, and a CECR in which error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of the process is stored.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the reliability level information of App j sent by the processor, the memory device may query a preset correspondence table, as shown in Table 1, between the reliability level of the process and the error-tolerant coding method according to the error-tolerant coding method, for example, BCH coding, of App j in the reliability level information to obtain the reliability level, Level 3, of App J.

The memory device may query a preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the data region to acquire that a data region corresponding to the reliability level, Level 3, of App j is the data region 3, and establish the first mapping relationship accordingly. Preferably, the first mapping relationship may indicate that the data of App j is mapped to the data region 3.

The memory device may query a preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the CECR to acquire that a CECR corresponding to the reliability level, Level 3, of App j is the CECR 3, and establish the second mapping relationship accordingly. Preferably, the second mapping relationship may indicate that code of App j is mapped to the CECR 3.

Afterward, the memory device adds, to the AMT shown in Table 2, the identification information of the process App j The identification information includes, for example, the process number, the reliability level, Level 3, of App j, the data region 3 in which the data of App j is stored, and the CECR 3 in which the error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of App j is stored. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the AMT table may be managed and maintained by a cache scheduler in the memory device.

TABLE 2 Process number Reliability level Data mapping Code mapping App i Level 1 data region1 CECR1 App j Level 3 data region3 CECR3

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, after the memory device establishes the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship according to the reliability level information of the running object, the memory device may store the data of the process App j into the data region 3 according to an entry of the process App j in the AMT, and after performing error-tolerant coding on the data of App j by means of BCH coding, writes an obtained code word into the CECR 3.

Further, if there is no data region 3 and/or CECR 3 in memory, the memory device may allocate a corresponding data region and CECR to App j according to the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship.

The memory device may allocate two regions, that is, the data region 3 and the CECR 3, in the memory to App j according to the AMT, and stores the data of the process App j into the data region 3 according to the entry of the process App j in the AMT, and after performing error-tolerant coding on the data of the App j by means of BCH coding, writes an obtained code word into the CECR 3.

In this case, the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship of the process App j are established. In a subsequent running process of the process App j, the processor may reliably access the memory according to the two mapping relationships of App j. A exemplary access process is as follows.

Step 305: The processor sends an access request to the memory device.

Exemplarily, the access request includes the identification information of the running object of the processor, physical address information of the data of the running object, and physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the running object.

In this embodiment, in a process of running App j, the access request sent by the processor includes a process number of App j, physical address information of the data of App j, and physical address information of error-tolerant code of App j. In addition, the access request may include a read access request and a write access request. When a type of the access request is a write access request, the processor sends, to the memory device, data that App j needs to write into the memory device.

Step 306: The memory device accesses the data of the running object according to the access request and the first mapping relationship, and accesses the error-tolerant code of the running object according to the access request and the second mapping relationship.

Exemplarily, when the access request is a read access request, as shown in FIG. 5, step 306 may include the following steps.

Step 306 a: The memory device queries the first mapping relationship according to the identification information of the running object to acquire the data region in which the data of the running object is stored, and generates a RD-d sub-request for the data region, and queries the second mapping relationship according to the identification information of the running object to acquire the CECR in which the error-tolerant code of the running object is stored, and generates an error-tolerant RD-c sub-request for the CECR.

Exemplarily, the RD-d sub-request includes the data region in which the data of the running object is stored and the physical address information of the data of the running object, and the RD-c sub-request includes the CECR in which the error-tolerant code of the running object is stored and the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the object.

In this embodiment, the memory device may query the AMT according to the process number in the read access request to obtain the data region 3 in which the data of the process App j is stored and the CECR 3 in which the error-tolerant code is stored, and generates a RD-d sub-request for reading the data region 3 and a RD-c sub-request for reading the CECR 3, where the RD-d sub-request includes the data region 3 and the physical address information of the data of App j, and the RD-c sub-request includes the CECR 3 and the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of App j.

Step 306 b: The memory device acquires the data of the running object by searching, in the data region included in the RD-d sub-request, for the physical address information of the data of the running object, and acquires the error-tolerant code of the running object by searching, in the CECR included in the RD-c sub-request, for the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the running object.

In this embodiment, the memory device may convert the two read access sub-requests into a series of commands that meet a memory chip standard, and sends the commands to a memory chip so that the memory chip may acquire the data of App j by searching, in the data region included in the RD-d sub-request, for the physical address information of the data of App j, and acquires the error-tolerant code of App j by searching, in the CECR included in the RD-c sub-request, for the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of App j, and transmits the data and the error-tolerant code of App j to the memory device.

Step 306 c: The memory device completes a data check according to the data and a code word to acquire accurate data of the running object.

In this embodiment, after receiving the data and the code word that are returned by the memory chip according to the two read access sub-requests, the memory device checks the data using the error-tolerant coding method BCH coding corresponding to the reliability level, Level 3, of App j, and after the check is successful, returns the data to the processor to execute step 306 d. If the check is unsuccessful, persons skilled in the art may understand that the memory device will report an error, interrupt an access process, and return error information to the processor for processing.

Step 306 d: The memory device sends the accurate data of the running object to the processor, where the accurate data is obtained after the checking.

Exemplarily, when the type of the access request is a write access request, the write access request includes the identification information of the running object, physical address information of data that needs to be written into the memory device, and physical address information of error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device. As shown in FIG. 6, step 306 may include the following steps.

Step 306A: The memory device queries the first mapping relationship according to the identification information of the running object to acquire the data region in which the data of the running object is stored, and generates a WR-d sub-request for the data region, and queries the second mapping relationship according to the identification information of the running object to acquire the CECR corresponding to the running object, and generates a WR-c sub-request for the CECR.

Exemplarily, the WR-d sub-request includes the data region in which the data of the object is stored and the physical address information of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, and the WR-c sub-request includes the CECR in which the error-tolerant code of the object is stored and the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device.

In this embodiment, the memory device may query the AMT according to the process number in the write access request to obtain the data region 3 in which the data of App j is stored and the CECR 3 in which the error-tolerant code is stored, and generates a WR-d sub-request for writing data into the data region 3 and a WR-c sub-request for writing into the CECR 3, where the WR-d sub-request includes the data region 3 and the physical address information of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, and the WR-c sub-request includes the CECR 3 and the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device.

Step 306B: The memory device searches the second mapping relationship using the identification information of the running object to obtain the error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the running object, performs, using the error-tolerant coding method corresponding to the object, error-tolerant coding processing on the data that needs to be written into the memory device so as to acquire the error-tolerant code corresponding to the data that needs to be written into the memory device, and adds, to a write request queue, the data that needs to be written into the memory device and the error-tolerant code corresponding to the data that needs to be written into the memory device.

In this embodiment, the memory device may obtain the error-tolerant coding method BCH coding corresponding to the reliability level, Level 3, of App j by querying the AMT, generate, according to the error-tolerant coding method, a code word for the data that needs to be written into memory device, and then add, to the write request queue, the data that needs to be written into the memory and the code word.

Step 306C: The memory device acquires, by searching in the data region included in the WR-d sub-request for the physical address information of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, a first physical address of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, and writes, into the first physical address, the data that is in the write request queue and needs to be written into the memory device. The memory device further acquires, by searching in the CECR included in the WR-c sub-request for the physical address information of the error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, a second physical address of the error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, and writes, into the second physical address, the error-tolerant code that is in the write request queue and corresponds to the data that needs to be written into the memory device.

In this embodiment, the memory device converts the two write access requests into a series of commands that meet a memory chip standard, and sends the commands to a memory chip so that the memory chip respectively writes, into the first physical address and the second physical address, the data that needs to be written into the memory device and the error-tolerant code of the data that needs to be written into the memory device, where the data that needs to be written into the memory device and the error-tolerant code are in the write request queue.

In addition, in a running process of the running object, the reliability level of the running object may further be adjusted. In this embodiment, in a running process of the process App j, the reliability level of the process App j may further be adjusted. As shown in FIG. 7, a specific adjustment process is as follows.

Step 701: The processor changes the reliability level of the running object and obtains a new error-tolerant coding method that corresponds to a changed reliability level of the running object.

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the processor may adjust the reliability level of the process App j according to a change in one or more items of a basis for setting the reliability level. Moreover, the processor first performs interrupt processing on the running process App j before the adjustment.

For example, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the reliability level of the process App j is adjusted from Level 3 to Level 4. In this case, by querying Table 1, it may be learned that the error-tolerant coding method of the process App j is changed from BCH coding to MIRROR coding.

Preferably, the processor may change the error-tolerant coding method in the RLR corresponding to the process App j to MIRROR coding.

Step 702: The processor sends changed reliability level information to the memory device.

Exemplarily, the changed reliability level information includes the identification information of the running object and the new error-tolerant coding method that corresponds to the changed reliability level of the running object.

In this embodiment, the processor may read the changed error-tolerant coding method MIRROR in the RLR corresponding to the process App j, where the changed error-tolerant coding method MIRROR and the process number of the process App j form the changed reliability level information, and send the changed reliability level information to the memory device.

Step 703: The memory device queries the preset correspondence table between the reliability level of the running object and the error-tolerant coding method according to the new error-tolerant coding method that is in the changed reliability level information and corresponds to the changed reliability level of the running object. The memory device then updates the reliability level of the running object in the first mapping relationship and the second mapping relationship.

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the memory device may query the preset correspondence table between the reliability level of the process and the error-tolerant coding method according to the new error-tolerant coding method MIRROR of the process App j, so as to obtain a new reliability level, Level 4, of App j.

Step 704: The memory device queries the preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the data region according to an updated reliability level of the running object in the first mapping relationship, and updates the data region in the first mapping relationship.

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the memory device may query the preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the data region to acquire a data region corresponding to the new reliability level, Level 4, of App j. It should be noted that whether a change of the data region corresponding to App j involves only migration in the data region of the data corresponding to App j has no direct relationship to a change of the reliability level. For convenience of description, it is assumed that the data region of App j does not change and may still be the data region 3 so that an updated first mapping relationship may indicate that the data of App j is mapped to the data region 3; however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Step 705: The memory device queries the preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the CECR according to the updated reliability level of the running object in the second mapping relationship, and updates the CECR in the second mapping relationship.

Exemplarily, the memory device may query the preset correspondence table between the reliability level and the CECR to acquire that a CECR corresponding to the new reliability level, Level 4, of App j is a CECR 4, and updates the second mapping relationship accordingly. Preferably, an updated second mapping relationship may indicate that code of App j is mapped to the CECR 4.

Further, in this embodiment, the memory device may change the entry of the process number App j in the AMT to the process number App j, a changed reliability level, Level 4, of App j, the data region 3 in which the data of App j is stored, and the CECR 4 in which new error-tolerant code corresponding to the data of App j is stored, as shown in Table 3.

TABLE 3 Process number Reliability level Data mapping Code mapping App i Level 1 data region1 CECR1 App j Level 4 data region3 CECR4

Exemplarily, in this embodiment, after updating the data region in the first mapping relationship and the CECR in the second mapping relationship, the memory device may migrate, according to the changed AMT shown in Table 3, the data of App j to a data region of the App j shown in Table 3, obtains new error-tolerant code for the data of App j according to the new error-tolerant coding method MIRROR corresponding to the data of App j, and migrates the new error-tolerant code of App j to the CECR 4.
